After navigating a complex legal process that resulted in the removal of the seizure seals by the Fiscalía General de la República (Federal Attorney General’s Office), the Museo Nacional del Tequila (MUNAT) officially reopened its doors to the public on June 5. Located in the heart of the Pueblo Mágico of Tequila, this iconic cultural venue begins a new chapter under the management of the Secretaría de Cultura de Jalisco (Jalisco Ministry of Culture), backed by an ambitious 15-million-peso investment plan for its comprehensive restoration and exhibition updates.

Operational reviews confirmed that the heritage building is structurally sound, allowing authorities to dismantle alterations unrelated to its original purpose, such as makeshift offices and drywall partitions. To celebrate this institutional recovery, the museum opened the temporary exhibition “Tardes Líquidas. Muestra de arte jalisciense para Tequila” (Liquid Afternoons: A Showcase of Jalisco Art for Tequila), featuring works by 24 creators across different generations. With a lineup that includes free concerts and regular operating hours from Wednesday to Monday, MUNAT remains free to the public as it solidifies its role as the cultural, historical, and sensory epicenter of the Paisaje Agavero (Agave Landscape).
